Here’s ‘Game of Thrones’ reimagined as an 8-bit Nintendo game

If I was an unoriginal writer, I’d say “nothing puts the ‘Game’ in Game of Thrones like these gifs,” but instead, I’m saying how incredibly faithful these ten animated 8-bit gifs are. Imgur user GnarW0lves has created ten stunning animated shorts and judging by her twitter profile, fantasy worlds are her unmitigated passion.

The graphics have a rather Shovel Knight look to them and if there’s any genius developer out there who wants to create a retro Game of Thrones game with GnarW0lves help, you’d be doing the internet a great service. The controls would be exceedingly simple. Push ‘A’ to jump and ‘B’ to randomly kill a fan-favourite character.

Let’s journey through some of Game of Thrones most memorable scenes and of course, there be spoilers aplenty.
